Fictional but realistic scenario. A mercenary army in the pay of Emperor invades northern Italy, with the intention of freeing the besieged troops in Milan by the army of the connected Italo - French (actually only Italian ) joined the League of Cognac.
But ,for some reasons, with no money and food they decide to focus further south to sack Florence or Rome . The commanders are quite uncertain and at the mercy of the troops who decided to focus on Rome , partly because the Pope has combined a lot of diplomatic trouble and allies begin to look at him with suspicion . However, the Pope is a Medici and Florence can convince the Allies to try a relief action and to stop the mercenaries before they arrive in Rome .

In this context , absolutely historical, we played the scenario, where , with some freedom, we have maintained active von Frundsberg , the legendary " father " of mercenaries , and , on the other front , Giovanni by black bands , which, actually, recently dead . Even the army lists are fictitious , but reflect what probably were the compositions and methods of combat of the two armies , with the Italian allies with more shooters and e cavalry , while the mercenaries were essentially melee troops . We succeded in playing thge scenario twice in a long sunday : in the first game Mercenaries won quite easily, but in the second game the Italian succeeded in destroy the opposite Italian wing and to give an hard lesson to the landsknechts (even if they have lost their Swiss mercenaries..).

Note on the battlefield: the fields were rough terrain, the river and the hedges were obstacles. The farm was impassable. First move is for the italian, as the imperials are still sleeping, each one in a separate camp.
